No, I don't mean those refrigerator magnets with the serenity prayer on them in Gothic lettering, nor those praying hands that look like they got chopped off somebody's corpse in a morgue. Most of the people I know who've found lasting happiness in sobriety, myself included, are those who've discovered, nurtured and disciplined in themselves the pursuit of some craft, skill or art that engages them creatively in their daily lives, prodding them to both seek and then eventually find the world around them an inexhaustible source of self-transcendence in the aesthetic "wow" rather than an obstacle course to navigate without drinking. Thoughts? Experience? Examples?
